Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown
Model 710 TruBlue Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual

• Flush and clean the system thoroughly to remove dirt or debris in the pipe system in order
to prevent premature failure at initial startup.
• Run a new or rebuilt pump at a speed that provides enough flow to flush and cool the
close-running surfaces of the stuffing-box bushing.
• If temperatures of the pumped fluid will exceed 93°C | 200°F, then warm up the pump prior
to operation. Circulate a small amount of fluid through the pump until the casing
temperature is within 38°C | 100°F of the fluid temperature. Accomplish this by flowing fluid
from pump inlet to discharge drain (optionally, the casing vent can be included in warm-up
circuit but not required). Soak for (2) hours at process fluid temperature.
At initial startup, do not adjust the variable-speed drivers or check for speed governor or over-
speed trip settings while the variable-speed driver is coupled to the pump. If the settings have
not been verified, then uncouple the unit and refer to instructions supplied by the driver
manufacturer.
Remove the coupling guard
1. Slide the driver half of the coupling guard toward the pump.
